The Mimix Geni Onco Mix 1 DNA/RNA FFPE Reference Standard is a highly characterized somatic cancer reference standard developed in collaboration with the Medical Device Innovation Consortium (MDIC) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as part of the Somatic Reference Samples (SRS) Initiative led by MDIC to help clinical diagnostic labs improve the accuracy of their cancer diagnostic assays.

These new somatic cancer reference standards have been developed from the Genome-in-a-Bottle Consortium (GIAB) cell line, recognized by the industry as one of the most tested and trusted cell lines available. Revvity has engineered the GM24385 GIAB cell line to contain 7 cancer-relevant mutations selected by the SRS steering committee of industry experts with representatives from NIST, NIH, FDA and CDC. The mutations include 2 single nucleotide variants, 1 multi-nucleotide variant, 2 indels, and 2 gene fusions. MDIC has tested and verified this material. MDIC and NIST will send the reference standards to multiple labs for interlab validation and the report will be made available once complete in 2026.

Key Features

• Developed from an engineered Genome-in-a-Bottle Consortium cell line (GM24385)
• Engineered with 7 cancer-relevant mutations
• Contains DNA and RNA fusions
• Cell line-derived for patient-like performance
• Tested and verified by MDIC
• Multi-lab testing by MDIC and NIST using WGS underway

The Mimix Geni Onco Mix 1 DNA/RNA FFPE Reference Standard comes with batch-specific NGS data. You can access the VCF file here. Each batch was sequenced using Agilent's CREV4 (Clinical Research Exome) kit at a depth of 500x on Aviti platform and run through the Illumina DRAGEN Somatic Pipeline for mapping, sorting, and variant calling.
